Oneida Ltd. / Oneida Silversmiths

Sherrill, NY 1880-Present
Formed as an experimental utopian social community at Oneida Creek in 1848, the group began making flatware in 1880, and their sterling line started in 1914.  The production of silverplated holloware began in 1926.  Oneida acquired Wm. A. Rogers, Ltd. in 1929 who had the trademark name Heirloom and Oneida also acquired S.L. & G.H. Rogers through that purchase.  Oneida manufactured three patterns in the 1940s for Empire Crafts Corp. under the name Royal Crest and produced another three patterns for private distribution under the name State House.  The “cube” mark was first used in 1965.  Goods are no longer produced in sterling silver.  Today, Oneida continues as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of flatware, holloware, barware, vanity and novelty items along with china, crystal, and glassware, with factories around the globe.
